NEW YORK, Aug. 17., I'he United Press coorrespondent at Moscow telegraphs that the forthcom- ~ , ing Moscow Conference on August 23rd Will mark the end of the p&nSocialisis’ rule and Russia’s entrance into new elements of conservation in commerce and finance. The Socialists failed in their attempt to govern properly, because the cities were socialistic and country conservative, and partly because Of internal quarrels which precipitated the July massacre; also by their effort to dominate behind the scenes, without ' assuming responsibility. M. Kerensky’s recognition that Socialism is a failure shows his greatness of mind. No observer of Russian affairs can fail to realise that any Socialism ast piring to rule the world must be differ- f ent from the present Russian example. The Socialists themselves have been disillusioned. . /

The correspondent heard a score of American Socialists say that they were through with Socialism and must find something more practical. Fears of a Monarchy are nonsense, and a Republic is inevitable, though rumours of Monarchic plots persist. KERENSKY AND KORNILOFF. WINTER CAMPAIGN INEVITABLE. [••reoter’s” telegram.] > rETROORAD, Aug. 17. General Korniloff has arrived. He had a lengthy conference with M. Kerensky. Interviewed, General Korniloff stated that energetic measures had resulted in considerably strengthening the mor- - ale and fighting capacity of the army. He hoped-that the new measures which he had submitted to the Government, would result in the complete regeneration of- the army. He stated that vast military operations may be expected on the Roumanian and other fronts, especially on the northern front, where combined land and sea actions were possible. He was of opinion that a winter campaign was inevitable. ' r .. ■ • ■
